Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 679 Disaster!The emperor and Yuansuke are gone!

Hubei,

Huangzhou Prefecture, Macheng.

Macheng County Magistrate Huang Maosong looked gloomy at the arresters in front of him: "My elder brother and three nephews in this county were beaten to death by the rioters, and my home in this county was also demolished by the rioters."

"With so much food, the entire mob in Goose Town disappeared without a trace?!"

"Are you doing your best?"

As he said that, Huang Maosong threw the teacup directly under the feet of these head catchers, making them tremble in fright.

One of the arresters said: "County magistrate, it's really not that our brothers didn't do our best."

"When we brought our brothers to feel Goose Town, the whole Goose Town was already empty, and Mr. Huang and the three young masters had already been beaten to death."

"We then searched for tens of miles around, but we really didn't find any trace, county magistrate, I suspect."

Huang Maosong narrowed his eyes like a fox: "What do you suspect?"

The head catcher said, "I suspect that there are people behind the mob in Goose Town."

"Otherwise, how could they have disappeared so cleanly, and where would they have the guts to attack Huang's family?"

Huang Maosong pinched his mustache: "It makes sense, could it be that there are still traitors in this Hubei area?!"

Thinking of this, Huang Maosong's eyes were full of light: "If there are really rebels."

Huang Maosong stopped abruptly, looked at the captors in front of him, and said, "Go ahead and search, ask other villages and towns, has anyone seen the people from Goose Town, or the traces of the brigade! Go quickly!" !"

"Yes! Yes!" As if they had been pardoned, the head arresters hurried out to handle their errands.

After these captors left, Huang Maosong's face became even uglier: "Could it be that there are really rebels in this Huangzhou mansion, and it happens to be on the boundary of my Macheng?"

Huang Maosong is here worried about his brother and nephews being beaten to death by the mob, and his hometown being copied by the mob, while Chu Xingyu, the governor of Hubei in Wuhan's mansion, and a group of officials who came with the holy car are already on the hot pot. The ants did the same.

The emperor is gone!
Oh my God, the emperor is missing on the border of Hubei!
Not only the emperor, but also Zhang Haogu, the chief assistant, disappeared together!

The emperor of Ming Dynasty and the chief assistant of Ming Dynasty just disappeared, this incident is a big deal!
Chu Xingyu hurriedly walked around the room, walking around like a headless fly: "Why did it disappear? Why did it disappear?"

"Why did the emperor disappear?"

Soon, the head of Wuhan Mansion and the thousands of households came over: "Your Excellency, I have not found any trace of the emperor."

"My lord, there is no trace of the humble position here."

"My lord governor, there is no trace of the humble position."

"Lord Governor"

Chu Xingyu, who didn't get a good news, was upset by these people: "Enough!"

"Keep going, go find it!"

"I can't find the emperor, and the court wants my head, so I'll take the heads of your whole family first, and look for them all!"

"Go!"

These chief executives left in a hurry and led their subordinates to look for traces of Zhu Youxiao and Zhang Haogu.

"Hey"

After these people left, Chu Xingyu sat on the chair and sighed weakly. Why did the emperor disappear in Wuhan?

Well, what if something goes wrong with the emperor!

After a while, someone came in, and Chu Xingyu said angrily: "Didn't the governor say that they all went to the emperor?"

"Zhou Guang!"

Hearing this voice, Chu Xingyu looked up and got up quickly: "Teacher, student."

Huang Liji said: "I know you are anxious, but I am more anxious than you."

"But there is no bad news right now, which is the biggest good news."

"The emperor and Yuanfu, the left and right may be private visits in micro-services. Now send more people to look for them, and they will always be found."

Chu Xingyu said: "Students are just worried, and they are afraid of accidents."

"If something really happened to the emperor in Hubei"

Huang Liji sighed: "Then, we are really doomed."

The higher you stand, the further you see, the more you know.

Huang Liji knew very well who was supporting this seemingly increasingly powerful Ming Dynasty.

Once something goes wrong with Zhu Youxiao, Daming will be leaderless immediately.

As for the letter king Zhu Youjian?

Not to mention that he is in a labor camp now, even if he is not in a labor camp, Zhu Youxiao has a crown prince!
And now that the old party can support it, it is Zhu Youxiao who is trying to balance it. Once Zhu Youxiao has a problem, what will the old party use to compete with the new party?
Just relying on him, Wei Guangwei, and these civil servants and Confucian scholars?

What a joke!
The imperial court has hundreds of thousands of new troops, all of which are under the control of the new party. There are hundreds of thousands of new troops in Liaonan, Grassland, Gansu, Gyeonggi, and Jiangnan. Look at the leaders. They are all new generals from Datong Academy or Zhu. Zhang Haogu was single-handedly selected by the school.

Once something happened to Zhu Youxiao and Zhang Haogu, these generals of the new army would definitely immediately support Zhu Ciran to ascend the throne and at the same time launch a purge of the Donglin Party. Those radical new party members would definitely be able to do it!
The emperor and Yuanfu had an accident in Hubei, Hubei is the territory of the Donglin Party, but the emperor and Yuanfu had an accident. What happened to him, the elder of the pavilion, and Chu Xingyu, the governor of Hubei, let alone the New Party would not listen, everyone in the world has to think about it Did they murder the emperor?

Now that the Ming Dynasty is getting stronger and stronger, and the hearts of the people are towards the imperial court, Zhu Youxiao's prestige among the people is equal to that of Emperor Chengzu. If something happens to him, who can afford it?

"Hey, I can only pray that the emperor is safe and sound." Huang Liji sighed.

Chu Xingyu also sighed helplessly. There are still [-] soldiers from the barracks in Wuhan. He wants to transfer them, but he doesn't have the right.Don't talk about him, these people Huang Liji, the cabinet boss, can't command them.

"Where can the emperor go?" Chu Xingyu also sighed helplessly.

Huang Liji was speechless, the emperor of Ming Dynasty had too many wonderful things.

There are leaders who are unwilling to surrender after a battle, and insist on preparing the army to fight again so as to show their martial arts.

Some cultivators who are addicted to Taoism dream of becoming immortals.

Emperor Taizu even made private visits in micro-services at every turn.

The current one, doesn't everyone say that he has the legacy of Taizu, so maybe he also went to Weifu for a private visit.

But this private visit on the micro-service disappeared directly, making the ministers anxious here, which is really full of willfulness with the characteristics of the Zhu family.

There was no trace of the emperor for several days in a row. Chu Xingyu almost gave up, but who would have imagined that Huangzhou Mansion sent news that Huangzhou Mansion suspected to have found the emperor and Yuanfu.

This suspicion made Chu Xingyu startled: "What does this mean?"

"Returning to the Governor, a group of five people appeared in Huangzhou Mansion before. Judging by the number of people, it is very suitable for the Emperor and Yuanfu. There are also young and old, and there are some who are clean-faced and needless."

After hearing this, Chu Xingyu asked quickly: "Where is the person, where is the person?"

The man looked embarrassed: "It's gone."

"Gone?!"

Chu Xingyu didn't realize that his voice had become higher: "Why not?"

The man said: "This group of people seems to have gone to Macheng. At that time, Huang Yuanwai from Goose Town in Macheng was holding a stage to sing a big show, but later Huang Yuanwai's family was killed by the mob in Goose Town, and the group disappeared."

"What?!" Chu Xingyu's voice became sharp: "The mob in Goose Town killed Huang Yuanwai's family, and that group of people may have been watching a play at Huang Yuanwai's house at that time?"

The man nodded: "Small estimate is like this."

Chu Xingyu slumped on the chair: "It's over, it's over, something big happened, something big happened!"

It took a long time for Chu Xingyu to come back to his senses. Unknowingly, his entire back was soaked, and he pointed out the door tremblingly: "Quick, go find Mr. Huang Ge!"

Huang Liji hurried over: "Why, did you find the emperor's trace?"

After Chu Xingyu told Huang Liji the ins and outs of the future, Huang Liji was also frightened: "Why are you still in a daze? Go to Macheng and check the situation!"

The officials in Wuhan rushed into action and all ran to Macheng, and the county magistrate Huang Maosonghuang in Macheng now knows that something is wrong, not only his own brother and his family were chopped down, it is very likely that the emperor was among them !

Thinking of what happened to the emperor in Macheng, Huang Maosong's heart would thump. This is a serious crime against the Jiuzu!
Fortunately, someone sent good news soon: "Master County, we found a trace!"

Huang Maosong was overjoyed: "What?!"

"Find a trace?"

"Where did you find it?"

A headhunter said: "Master, I found traces of a large number of people living in the mountains. They buried pots and made food in the mountains. The traces are very obvious!"

"Where's that person?" Huang Maosong asked again.

The head catcher said, "It looks like he fled to Henan!"

Huang Maosong stroked his little beard: "Okay, okay, I finally found it!"

"These mobs must have thought that there was a flood in Henan, so they could pretend to be victims of the disaster and get away with it!"

"Come here, call the yamen servants, and go to Henan with my grandfather, to catch those mobs and torture them severely, so as to find the trace of the emperor!"

"By the way, avenge my poor brother and nephews!"

The head catcher immediately said, "Yes!"

Soon, Huang Maosong rushed to Henan with people while reporting to the mansion.

After Chu Xingyu and Huang Liji rushed to Huangzhou Mansion with officials, they learned that Huang Maosong, the magistrate of Macheng County, had found the traces of the mob and led the yamen servants to catch up. They also followed immediately without stopping.

All the officials in Hubei are now in action, running from Hubei to Henan in a hurry, but there are traces of the emperor in Henan.

Huang Liji did not forget to inform Zhou Jinyong while he was on his way: "Quickly, send someone on a flying horse to tell Zhou Jinyong, Governor of Henan Province, and ask him to immediately send people to search in various prefectures and counties in Henan Province. We must find traces of those mobs. It is related to the news of the emperor." and safety!"

When Zhou Jinyong got the news, Huang Maosong had already led the yamen servants to inquire all the way, and ran towards Xingyang.

They had already received the news that there were indeed thousands of refugees who said they had fled from Hubei, and they were heading towards Xingyang.

Huang Maosong immediately came to a conclusion: "These mobs must have gone to Xingyang and pretended to be refugees, so as to deceive the world!"

"Quick! Go to Xingyang!"

Huang Maosong was sitting in a sedan chair, followed by the yamen guards, and the group rushed towards Xingyang in a hurry.

At this time, Zhu Youxiao and Zhang Haogu were still working with the people in Xingyang to repair the embankment and clean up the silt.

The flood is no longer raging, so it has become a lot easier to reinforce the embankment. In addition to reinforcing the embankment, there is also cleaning up the messy Xingyang County.

Young and old men chanted and repaired the gaps in the waist-deep water, reinforced the embankments on both banks, and carried away piles of mud and dirt with their loads.

Huang Liqing, the county magistrate, took the lead and led the big guys to work hard.

Food support from all over the country came, sweet potatoes, corns and potatoes were piled up, a large pot was set up, and there was a strong flame underneath. Potatoes and wild vegetables were stewed in the pot, and the roasted sweet potatoes and corns were neatly stacked.

Right now, I don’t have time to prepare so many things. The food is as simple as it is. Zhu Youxiao has gotten used to it these days. He took his own bowl and put a bowl full of wild vegetables and stewed potatoes, and then took a few sweet potatoes to find a place Just sit down and eat.

Sitting around are also folks and elders who came from all over the country, a group of people were talking and laughing, chatting while eating.

"Brother Hu, how is your farm doing?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

When the man surnamed Hu heard this, he immediately slapped his thigh: "Tell you, Brother Mu, what our farm does is really good!"

"The person in charge of our farm is a person from Datong Academy, and he is knowledgeable!"

"It's not the kind of people who just say they don't do it, they really take us to do it together."

"At present, there is a school in the farm for the children to study, and the road is paved, and trees are planted around it. After the road is repaired, merchants are willing to come, and the tree can be sold for money. Now every family has money and can eat Not to mention being full, the house has been repaired.”

As he said that, the man sighed: "Oh, it's really a good day right now, a good day that can feed the common people and clothe them warmly. It's a pity that God didn't open his eyes and caused such a disaster in Henan. In the past two years, we have worked hard. It’s been hard work, and we’re going to start all over again.”

The people on the side smiled and said: "No matter what you say, there is an imperial court."

"The current emperor and the chief assistant are all for the sake of our people. Throughout the ages, how many good emperors and officials have there been? With the court here, we will have good days again in a short time."

The man surnamed Hu laughed and said: "That's right! The imperial court is kind to us, and the emperor is also a wise king. He will definitely not watch our common people suffer."

"Aside from other things, how many people can send the imperial army to rescue the disaster?"

Someone else said: "If it were left in the past, we, the common people, would have to bear the disaster all by ourselves. If there is no food left in the family, the whole family will be ruined."

"Look now, how much food the imperial court can bring in, potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes, you can't eat them all, and you are not afraid of disasters. The imperial court is thinking about us."

The people around echoed: "Yes, yes, today is really a good day."

"Hello, the imperial court."

"The emperor is thinking about our people!"

Hearing the true feelings of the people, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. He took a bite of the sweet potato, um, sweet, really sweet, this taste was sweeter than anything he had eaten before.

After another busy day, in the middle of the night, Zhu Youxiao looked at the bonfires around him: "Master, this is the first time I have seen this flood. It is not easy for the common people. I am grateful to the court for this disaster."

Zhang Haogu said: "In the past when there were disasters, most of the money and food allocated by the imperial court were often lost before leaving the capital. When they arrived in the local area, they were stripped layer by layer, and finally in the hands of the victims. In the end, all the rice grains turned into miscellaneous grains, bran.”

"Now that the New Deal is being implemented and the administration of officials is being reformed, officials at all levels dare not embezzle or lose money. The people feel that the food allocated by the court can be delivered to the people in real terms."

Zhu Youxiao said: "That's why Master only mobilized all provinces to support Xiangyong and food, but did not mention the allocation of funds."

Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "Your Majesty is wise, what the people in the disaster area need is not money, but food, which can fill their stomachs and feed their families."

"Whether potatoes or sweet potatoes are good, the output is large. It is most suitable for supporting disaster areas. It is more suitable than rice. It’s okay, and it’s shelf-stable.”

"When the disaster is over, it is time to allocate funds to repair the local area."

Zhu Youxiao nodded: "I am very relieved to have Master here."

Zhang Haogu smiled again: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, let's go back to the hut to sleep, we have to work tomorrow."

Zhu Youxiao was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, rest early. I have been soaking in this flood for the past few days. Although I feel physically tired, my mental head is getting better and better."

"The harder it is, the lighter it is, hahahaha."

After returning to the shack, the people at the side asked, "Brother Mu, Brother Gu, where are you going?"

Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "Let's go out to get some air, everyone go to bed as soon as possible."

The people next to them didn't have any doubts anymore, they all lay together, no matter who was clean and who was not, anyway, they were all covered in mud, just lying on the straw mat, sleeping soundly and comfortably.

At this time, Zhou Jinyong had just received an urgent report: "What? The emperor and Yuanfu disappeared in Hubei?"

"And there is a group of mobs related to the emperor's disappearance?"

"The mob is in Xingyang right now?!"

Zhou Jinyong, who got the news, couldn't sit still anymore. Now that the wind and rain in Henan have just stopped, and the flood has finally been brought under control, why did this thing happen again? !
Originally Zhou Jinyong was in Xingyang, but seeing the disasters everywhere, he had to return to Kaifeng to take charge of the overall situation, but even so, he was still on the river embankment in Kaifeng.

Now that the flood is about to subside, there may be mobs in Xingyang again, so how can he still sit in Kaifeng?

Immediately, Zhou Jinyong rushed to Xingyang with his people: "The emperor and Yuanfu must not have any accidents!"

The officials in Henan are on the move, and the officials in Hubei are also on the move. As for Zhu Youxiao and Zhang Haogu, they are sleeping fast. Carrying sandbags in this disaster area is much easier than dealing with government affairs. There are so many minds and thoughts, thinking that whoever stands on the cheap will suffer, and want to compare with those [-] minded officials, the people of Ming Dynasty are too simple.
